Brussels festival to open with 'Beds' (Variety)

BRUSSELS -- Romantic comedy "Unmade Beds" is set to open the Brussels Film Festival June 27.

The pic, shot in London by Argentine director Alexis Dos Santos, kicks off the fest's competition of 14 European films, all of which are directorial debuts or second pic.

Most contenders have already visited major festivals, some collecting kudos on the way. Peter Strickland's "Katalin Varga" came away from Berlin with a Silver Bear, while Mahmut Fazil Coskun bagged a Tiger at Rotterdam with "Wrong Rosary."
